Another shot from last night's walkabout. Do the reflections of the lights in the window ruin this shot?

The reflections are fine, they even add a sense of place to the image.

OTOH The face is centered in the frame which robs the image of energy. Try cropping a bunch from either side and see if the head "pops" better. I'd crop from the left......

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

I agree with MB1 you need to crop it a bit. The reflections are great for this shot. It looks like she is staring me down, good shot.

If anything, I'd crop some on the right side.

Nice shot! I too would crop from the right.

To me it's a really neat shot. I don't mind the reflections and think they add a 'Big City' feeling, but the location of them so close or in the way of her left eye is distracting to me. Perhaps if there were more of them on the right side of the image, it would balance out. Worth a reshoot if you can swing it!!!

I like the lighting on the mannequin. the reflections add, but could do without the one on the nose/eye. A crop will work, I feel as MB1 said from the left, but either way should do it.

I'll get back to that area and try a reshoot to place the reflections in different areas.

Your positive comments are a great motivator for me give it another try.

Gracias!!

As long as you're there, try some vertical shots, too.

I like the reflections in the shot! It give it more of a story.. I like it! Very nice!
